Earning points with other *A members
Hi,
just a quick question. Let's say I'd do a Lufthansa worldwide flight.
SAS homepage says:
"Flights Worldwide, the points you earn depends of distance in miles flown"
Followed by(for example)
Premium Economy: fr. 500
What does fr. 500 mean? How do I find out how many points I'll actually get for the flight?

Thanks for the info, but I still don't completely understand.
For example, it says economy Y and Business P both earn you 100%
Additionally, in the points section it says fr.125 for ALL economy and fr. 500 for ALL Businness/First.
So there still seems to be a difference.
It's still unclear to me what the abbreviation of "fr." means and the numeric values that follows it.

So minimum earnings on business is 500, on 100%. As lowest economy earning is 25% that would give a minimum earning of 125.
I would however be challenged to come up with many less than 500 miles non European routes. There were some intra Gulf tag ons, but I don't think they could be booked on a stand alone basis.

Quite except for the fact that that is not a non-European flight, this is actually a flight where one earns 500 miles flat. The distance between ZRH and CPH is actually MORE than 500 miles (around 600 miles). You were in a 25% booking class, and thus earned 25% of 500.

Anyone know how long to expect for EY J to credit Eurobonus?
First flight was over a month ago just for reference.
I know the thread title says other *A members but thought better to ask here before asking in a new thread.
Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea!

You're not the first to get bitten by this. Next time connect in an eligible location or fly a different airline. It's poor to mis out on J earnings on a trip to Australia, make sure to retroclaim them to another program.

Ok thanks for the advice!
That's a ridiculous way to phrase that sentence.
You earn Extra would generally mean that you earn additional points on those specific routes.
Oh well will just claim to another program.
Thanks again

It helps if you read the basics before selecting a program. :-)
